$27: common enough preflop spot

[Schmitty 87]

Button is super tight (like 4/0). SB 43/10/1.25. BB 26/17/2. Not many hands but whatever. 10 bbs I shove this. 15+ I'd just raise to like 250. With 13 I have no idea, esp. vs. loose sb and aggressive bb.

This is a shove for me.

With your reads it's actually pretty thin. I'm pushing if I've been tight so far and I'm probably folding if I was active lately.

[RexWoo]

probably close. I fold usually and probably push 66.

[Josem]

do an icm calculation; without doing the calculations, i assume it is a push.

Those who say shove, have you run this through SNGPT? It's actually slightly -EV if opps call tight and only very slightly +EV (like +0.1-0.2%) if they call loose. My range in this spot is something like 77+, AJ+.

ill generally just fold this given stacks and reads.

[Pudge714]

I think I shove. The thing is the sb/bb probably suck because they will defend with 76s not because they will call shoves with k8.

[Little John]

shove should be fine. sb could easily call with 22-44 or A2-A4.

[Q..]

Depending on their ranges shove has from -0.3 ev to +0.1 % ev, and its really tight call range for them where it is +ev, so fold here is required i believe. Also +0.1% ev is like Huge variance in results, which can't be good either.

And its wrong that its good that they are loose, the looser their call range the worse it gets.
